I will double-check this, but I suspect this means PLOS figures are being incorrectly deposited as supp info into EPMC. We can report it upstream, but can't fix it at the getpapers level.
I have confirmed this is a problem at the EuropePMC end, and contacted Jo about the problem.
Single paper demonstration of issue: http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0079155 Expected getpapers to download the supp info: File S1 (9 Mb PDF). EuropePMC does hold this supp file: http://europepmc.org/articles/PMC3838368/bin/pone.0079155.s001.pdf
But getpapers unexpectedly returns all 9 main paper figure images as supp info and NOT the real supp info.
Multiple PLOS ONE example, where only 3 out of 25 hits returns real supplementary information files. The three that do return real supp info are: PMC3665537, PMC3669350, PMC3692442 All others, as apparent from file names g001 etc are just the figures from the main paper
